AUTOGRAPHIC REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 494,881, dated April 4,1893. Application filed September 30, 1891. Serial No- 407394. (Nomodel.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTON OLSEN, a subject of the King of Denmark,residing at O0- penhagen, Denmark, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Antographic Registers; and I do declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

The invention includes two movable paper strips, one being intended tobe torn off, to supply the customer, with a memoranda of the purchase,and the other to receive said memorauda by means of an interposed carbonstrip, the latter memoranda strip being wound within the casing.

The invention includes the various combination of devices hereinafterexplained.

In the drawings: Figure l is a plan view of the machine. Fig. 2 isa planview of part of the interior mechanism, parts of the frame being insection. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section through the frame or casewith parts of the interior mechanism in section and parts in elevation.Fig.4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 of aportion thereof, showing the partsin a diderent position. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are views of details.

The casing has an opening B to which the two strips of paper 0 O aredirected through a guide H, and rollers d d from the spools b b, saidstrips being arranged one above the other, the upper G passing out ofthe guide at the point 10, to go over a carbon ribbon E and out throughthe opening B, while the under strip passes under the said ribbon andthence down within the case to the winding roller G. The paper is fedforward one step each time the drawer K is pushed in by the pin t', onthe drawer extension K, striking the lever L pivoted at m and having asegmental rack M at its upper end engaging a pinion N loose on the shaftof roller d, which pinion is connected by any suitable clutch n with theratchet N fixed to the roller shaft so that the forward movement of therack M as the lever L is swung back at its lower end,

will turn the roller to feed the paper forward whereas on the opening ofthe drawer, the spring 7.; will return the lever L to normal position,but this movement will not affect the roller (1 as this will then beheld by the pawl n en gaging the ratchet N, the clutch connection '1allowing the pinion N to turn backward freely. The memoranda of thepurchase having been made on the upper slip 0, this portion may be tornoff by the straight edge F movably connected at 11 to the casingextending thence transversely across the strip and having at its end thebutton F, by press ing' down upon which the straight edge is forced intocontact with the strip G which may then be tornv OE and given to thecustomer with the proper memoranda thereon.

In order to move the collar band or ribbon E step by step each time thestraight edge is depressed the said straight edge has a depending pin a,Figs. 8 and 6, which presses upon a board g; on the lever y pivoted at0n the standard 1 Fig. 6, said lever having a pawl z, engaging a ratchetwheel 2 on the roller U, to which the end of the color band is fastened,the other end being fastened to the other roller U, Fig. 2. It will beseen that each depression of the straight edge, will cause the feedingof the transverse color band one step through the lever and ratchet andpawl construction described. The color band 7 may be operated also eachtime the stamping device W is used, Figs. 1 and 3, said device beingvertically movable in a guiding bracket W and having a lug M adapted topress upon the pin x, which like the pin a is arranged over the board yof the lever 'y to operate said lever when depressed.

The winding roller G is operated from the pin 2', by a rod 19, engagingthe wheel 19', and moving it by frictional contact therewith when therod is moved in one direction but when the rod moves in the otherdirection it slips over the surface of the roller as the roller at thistime is held against retrograde movement by the pawl 12 engaging withthe ratchet wheel 12* fixed on the shaft of the roller G, said pawlbeing pivoted to a stationary stud or post 13*. The rod 19 is kept inproper frictional contact with the roller p by a smaller roller 19".

The money is placed upon the pivoted plate D at the top of the casing,this is held normally up by a lever B having a cross rod,

' V R" at its upper end. 7 r The lever is under-tendrawer extension, byalink q passing loosely through an opening in'the pin h on said ex sionof a spring R to keep it 'in the position shown in Fig. l. The. lowerend of'the lever is in the path of the pivoted spring catch 3 onthenpper end of a leverQ pivoted at r and connected at its lower endwith the tension, the end of the link, having a button 14. As the draweris pulled out, the pin h strikes this button. and throngh'the link movesthe lever Q so that its spring catch s V getsback of the lowerend oftheleverR and levers Q and R continues toward the front, .they willdisengage themselves astheir ends move along diverging arcs, and when sodis engaged, the spring R will draw the lever R V to normalposition. Thespring catch 5, is pro vided so that it may snap behind the lever R. Themoney tray S, is pivoted at S and is operated to tilt and thusdepositthe money into the drawer P, by the bent lever T, piv-' V oted at u andconnected with the tray at '0,

thelower end of said lever being in thepath of thelatch 9, Figs. 2'and3, on top of the pin 7g, secured tothe money drawer-extension. Asthedrawer ispnlled out, this latchstrikes thelever T and tilts the partsas shown in Fig. 4, and as the pin g gets to the front of the lever T,the weight thereof will act to tilt the parts back into normal position,on the return of the drawer the pivoted catch g snaps by the lever T andgets behind it for another action.

In order to prevent the drawer from being pulled out when the straightedge is depressed, the rod 0 is provided depending from the board y ofthe lever y down to the drawer and engaging an opening 0 in the saiddrawer.

I claim 1. In combination, the casing having the opening, the carryingmeans for the two paper strips 0, O with means for feeding said strips,the guide for directing the strips, the winding mechanism within thecasing for one of the strips, the color band passing substantially atright angles between the two strips, the spools for said color bandwithin the casing, the movable straight edge extending transverselyacross the path of the upper strip and adjacent to the opening in thecasing therefor, the lever pawl and ratchet device connected with oneof' thecolor band spools for operating it to wind the said band, and

the pin extending from the straightedg'e into the casing to operate thepawl lever,substantially as described.

' 2.. In combination the spools for two 'pa-' per strips with feedingmechanism for said strips, the color band E passing between the twostrips, the leverfor moving the said color band, and the meansfor'operating the said lever consisting of the stamp having a lug m andthe movable pin projecting through the casing in line therewith,substantially as described. V V

In an autographic register, in combinaper strip, the feeding mechanismfor the said strip, operated by the said drawer, the mov :tion with thedrawer K the spools for a pa- Q able plate D at the upper end of thecasing r the operating connections from said plate to the drawer to beoperated thereby, and the receptacle for the money, snbstantially'asdescribed.

at. In combination the drawer K a record ing strip, the feedingmechanism therefor op erated by the drawer, the plate D the lever R-engaging said plate to hold it up in normal position the lever Qarrangedto operate the lever B said lever being in the path of the 7 drawer tobe operated thereby, substantially as described. r V r r 5.. Incombination the drawer K, a recording strip with feeding mechanismtherefor operated from the drawer the plate D pivoted at the upper partof the casing, the lever oonnections thereto arranged to be operated bythe drawer, the tray S arranged below the plate and the lever operatingmeanstherefor arranged to be operated by the drawer, substantially asdescribed.

6. In combination the spools for the two strips with feeding mechanismtherefor connected with the drawer, the straight edge the color ribbon Ethe lever y for operating the same and the depending rod 0 for catchingthe drawer and the winding means for one of the strips, substantiallyasdescribed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

ANTON OLSEN.
